User blog:Brigadier Barty/Escaping the Prison of Olerr-Thayne

The Kingdom of Kazarheim is not kind to its prisoners. Enemies of the Crown, be they the lowliest pickpocket or the grandest adversary, are sent to the underground world of Olerr-Thayne, the worst prison in all the known world, were they are to suffer for every waking moment of the rest of their lives. Here they are starved, beaten, tortured, bit by bit, every day and every night, until there is nothing of themselves left to refuse the mercy of a slow, terrible death.

You are amongst the newest batch of prisoners sent below, escorted by the armed and black-cloaked Vizerikordat Vinschern, the police force of Kazarheim, to suffer for whatever crimes you have committed in the eyes of the People... forever... unless...

is escape possible? Perhaps. None have ever successfully done so alive. But there is a small chance that you know of, even as you and your comrades hang upside down within one of Olerr-Thayne's black chambers, bound, chained, and hanging from the ceiling alongside your fellows. Because a vole guard whispered it to you and your comrades even as he chained you there, smiling just before the door closing stole all the light from the room. He will help you, for a price to be decided at his leisure. You just have to slip the chains using the files he gave you and your companions, and hope you don't plummet to your deaths.

Good luck.

And be careful.

You don't want the Torturer Supreme to find you, do you?

==Rules==


 * Stick to the Code


 * Kazarheim is a country upon the Continent of Aianar, a few days North of Mossflower. A country and a continent where things like "vermin" and "woodlanders" don't exist and don't decide your status. It's how good you are with a blade, the amount of gold in your purse, and the name of your family that matters in these lands. Unfortunately... those don't matter either, in Olerr-Thayne. You're just as wretched as the next prisoner. Feel free to be any type of European mammal, amphibian, reptile or bird you wish to be, as long as you are neither human, hoofed nor horned (although horned toads are entirely acceptable).


 * Be creative about the reasons for your capture. Kazarheim is a grand and imperialistic place, beautiful and powerful and very proud of its place in the world... and it also has a love for "colonization". Mossflower or anywhere else you can think of can very likely be a place that the People of Heim and their armies are attempting to take over.


 * You have no weaponry, and no equipment but the very clothes you had on your back at the time of your capture.


 * As the Game Master, I decide who lives or dies unless we're talking about your very own character. You don't. Keep your attacks fair and open to a possibility of survival for your opponent.


 * Despite what the intro may suggest, there are two factions- the guardians of the Prison, known as the Vizerikordat Vinschern (commanded by the Torturer Supreme), and the Prisoners.


 * If you have any questions, do not be afraid to ask!

The Prisoners
The Prisoners are a host of animals from all over the globe, be it Mossflower, Aianar, or anywhere else where the People of Heim may have set foot and placed their Kingdom's Banner. You could be something as small and petty as someone who failed to pay your loans on time to a Master Criminal; someone as harmless as a small-time thief to a Rebel leader taken down by Kazarheim forces during your final attempt to rescue your country. The People of Heim do not discriminate when it comes to their criminals- you all suffer just the same.

The Vizerikordat Vinschern
The Vizerikordat Vinschern are the police force of Kazarheim, beasts of all species and origins who have pledged to serve the People of Heim as their protectors whilst punishing villains as their guards and torturers. All VVs wear leather jerkins died black, black cloaks and black masks that fit comfortably over their faces and muzzles, as well as black leather belts laden with all manner of torturing equipment, a whip, and a long dagger. All VVs also have a wide knowledge of torture techniques and poisons, as well as a talent for fighting.

The Vizerikordat Vinschern ranks are like so: Captains (escorted by twelve Privates), Lieutenants (escorted by six Privates), Sergeants (escorted by three Privates), Corporals, and Privates, the lowest rank of VV. All of these positions report directly to the Torturer Supreme, the commander of the Prison of Olerr-Thayne.
